Little Mix superfan 'heartbroken' after falling seriously ill just minutes before favourite band plays

A seven-year-old Little Mix fan was "heartbroken" after falling seriously ill just minutes before they took to the stage. Imogen Holmes had patiently waited two years to see her favourite group after the concert was cancelled due to Covid restrictions.

She visited Pizza Express with her mum Louise, cousin Gabby and auntie Teresa for their first family gathering since losing her grandma to cancer. But just moments after arriving she became violently sick before being rushed home after suffering a severe gluten reaction, The Manchester Evening News reported . The seven-year-old has coeliac disease and mustn't eat any gluten.

What followed was an ordeal that lasted two gruelling hours, with Imogen continuing to projectile vomit in the bathrooms at the arena before passing out from exhaustion at the hotel. They had missed the entire concert, leaving little Imogen 'heartbroken'.
